EPA Proposes Rejection Of V.I. Landfill Program has taken the first step toward disapproving the us virgin islands' landfill program Anguillalandfills and the fact that the virgin islands government has not http://www.epa.gov/region02/news/2000/00082.htm
Extractions: Releases Invites Public to Comment at Hearings on June 27 and 28 For Immediate Release: Monday, May 8, 2000 (#00082) New York, N.Y. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken the first step toward disapproving the U.S. Virgin Islands' landfill program and assuming a greater role in enforcing federal solid waste landfill laws on the Islands. A history of problems at the Bovoni and Anguilla landfills and the fact that the Virgin Islands government has not adopted necessary solid waste regulations or allocated enough funding and staff to deal with important solid waste issues, has prompted EPA to make an initial determination that the Virgin Islands' solid waste landfill program is unsatisfactory. A notice of EPA's preliminary decision was published in the Federal Register today, May 8, and the agency will hold two public meetings to discuss it in June. "In the interest of the people of the Virgin Islands and their natural environment, EPA is prepared to assume the primary role of enforcing federal solid waste laws in the territory," said Jeanne M. Fox, EPA Regional Administrator. "This is an unfortunate situation. The nation's solid waste laws were designed to be implemented and enforced locally by states and territories because local governments can generally deal with their solid waste needs better and faster than other government entities. However, our agency has been unable to obtain the regulatory and resource changes by the Virgin Islands needed to approve its program. We are ready to play a much larger role than we have in the past to bring about much-needed changes."

Extractions: In a Place and Time of Change People at Virgin Islands National Park on St. John, as on many Caribbean islands, are concerned about the environmental changes that result from such disturbances as anchor damage to coral reefs, over fishing, the encroachment of exotic plants, sediment run-off from construction and loss of winter habitat for migratory birds. It is becoming increasingly important to be able to determine how these human-caused changes differ from and aggravate such natural disturbances as hurricanes, diseases and long-term fluctuations in environmental conditions. The overall goal of the field station on St. John and those located throughout the world is to research long-term natural and anthropogenic changes in the marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Working with local, federal and international government agencies, universities and non-governmental organizations, field station staff provide data from basic and applied research projects that enable the National Park Service and other clients to best manage their biological resources. Special Role Through its own research and through cooperative agreements with other researchers, field station scientists have promoted a high level of research activity on coral reefs, seagrass beds, marine water quality, migratory birds, tropical soils, watershed erosion, hurricane effects, dry forest restoration, endemic and endangered plants, and the effects of fishing. The staff's expertise on tropical marine ecology is not found elsewhere in the National Park Service or Biological Resources.

Extractions: Virgin Islands National Park, renowned throughout the world for its breathtaking beauty, covers approximately 3/5 of St. John, and nearly all of Hassel Island in the Charlotte Amalie harbor on St. Thomas. Within its borders lie protected bays of crystal blue-green waters teeming with coral reef life, white sandy beaches shaded by seagrape trees, coconut palms, and tropical forests providing habitat for over 800 species of plants. To these amazing natural resources, add relics from the Pre-Colombian Amerindian Civilization, remains of the Danish Colonial Sugar Plantations, and reminders of African Slavery and the Subsistence Culture that followed during the 100 years after Emancipation - all part of the rich cultural history of the Park and its island home.
